      Exactly. The stereotype of someone who thinks they are gangsta, is that they live in the "hood", carry a gun etc. You've never seen gangstas portrayed like that? Wow, you must be deprived of film and television where you live.

      And before you start whinging about "blah blah you believe everything you see on TV". Well, quite frankly, what else can we do? We're presented with media texts portraying the world every day, and we base our "knowledge" on what we are shown. We can only base our interpretations, and therefore conclusions/judgements, on what we are shown. And it doesn't help with the American Rap industry further pushing this stereotype. So, without visiting Detroit or whatever personally, I can only go by what I'm presented. Much like you can only judge the War in Iraq by what the news shows you etc.

        Actually, stereotypes are quite often true. They are just generalisations of a race/group, or whatever. However, they are wrong sometimes too.

        How old are you by the way?

            It's probably best you don't read it, because your limited intelligence couldn't comprehend a paragraph with words with more than six letters.

            And its not even 5pm, why would I sleep?

            Oh, I think you're trying to say "making sense". I'm not sure how "Since" fits in under that context.. Must be an American thing?

                Ok cool. Considering I'm turning 19 soon, I would HOPE you earn more than me.

                And no, not all Mexicans eat Tacos. Like you said, you know SOME that don't. Like I clearly said, its a "generalisation". Do you know what that word means? It accounts for what alot of them do. And like I said (again), some stereotypes are true, others are not.

                    VB is ****en horrible... i went to bathurst and thats all they were selling. I can't drink crown either. When i went to aussie last year i met a few that were drinking room temp VB lol... i assumed it was the norm. At the exception of Lion Red i drink import beer Becks, Stella Artois, Heinekin.
